	Message: : A few scattered notes: * S’pht of the same colour all share the same physics : on a given level; each colour represents a specific clan. There are, : however, two different shades of what you refer to as “blue”. The less : saturated blue S’pht are hostile on the first three levels of Chapter : Three (they become friendly once the Pfhor invade), and the more saturated : blues are friendly throughout the game. I can’t remember which clan Raven : associated the less saturated blues with, but the saturated blue are the : S’pht’Kr. If memory serves, they also show up as blue dots on your map. : * All Ticks are hostile to basically everything around them. They’re very : fickle, though, so it’s almost random as to whether they attack. Their : attack is pretty dangerous, though. : * “She Is the Dark One” originally had another view of the Citadel of : Antiquity in the northwestern corner, until we realised that this made no : logical sense, given how far underground the player was, hence the segment : of “Bob’s Big Date” I replaced it with. : We had a lot of fun revising that map. I’m not really sure how many of the : additions wound up being my work and how many of them were Raven’s. I : suspect slightly more of them were mine, but when a map gets passed back : and forth between people that much, it’s almost a moot point, since people : often end up piggybacking off each other’s ideas to some extent. I have : absolutely no idea who built a few of the segments in the map now. : * Split doors get messed up in VML/Vasara if a player saves them in a : different position than they’re supposed to start the level. That door : would’ve been correctly aligned when the map was saved, but because it : starts the map closed, it would end up misaligned if a person saved the : map with the door open. This is one of the most annoying things about : texturing in Aleph One. : * The annotations including our names and dates (e.g., “Aaron 2018.10.04”) : are really just notes to ourselves about when a map was last revised, and : aren’t of any interest to people outside the development team. That said, : we weren’t very good about updating them regularly, so they’re not really : even of much interest to us. : * Although “Omega” was at one point planned to be the name of what would have : been the final release, it was dropped from the title during development, : as it became clear that Eternal was unlikely to wrap up its development : anytime soon – there’s never actually been a release entitled “Eternal X : Omega”. : * I wouldn’t put too much thought into what real-world materials a texture : resembles – these textures have been through so many revisions that : there’s a decent chance the mapmaker’s original choice looked like : something completely different. : Furthermore, when assigning textures in Eternal (and in most Marathon : scenarios, for that matter), I mostly pay attention to what looks good : aesthetically, rather than what would make the most logical sense to us. : Lh’owon is an alien world terraformed by a technologically advanced race, : so our primitive human technology isn’t really very relevant. : The one exception to this is Tempus Irae’s Earth textures – since they mostly : represent 16th-century Earth technology, texture assignments actually : should make some logical sense. (Though it’s a game first and foremost, : and if there’s a disparity between what’s most realistic and what results : in the best gameplay, I suspect I choose the latter nine times out of ten : – and it’s not as though Tempus is a consistently realistic scenario, : anyway.)
